Banners...a rare find

Dealership signs are a prized treasure to find for any collector, but are pretty commonly found in various conditions from years of use. These metal signs survived because they were tough and made for outdoor, long term use. Banners on the hand, were not!  Oliver used banners from time to time to introduce new tractors, product lines, or for a new sales promotion.  They were made from lightweight cloth material and designed to be used in the dealership showroom or for temporary use at a show or fair.  Because of this, very few banners survived making them one of hardest items to find for a collector to find.  If one of the few that still exist does come to auction, the large banners such as the 10' x 3' Oliver 880 banner, commands an even bigger price - one recently selling for over $3,000!  Oliver Archives is proud to offer high quality replica banners using these great designs from the 1950's.  The banners are available in the 10' x 3' size just like the originals or a half size version (60" x 18") if you are limited on your space to display the banner.  You can also choose from either 18 oz. heavy duty vinyl for outdoor and indoor use OR a polyester fabric which gives your banner beautiful, vibrant colors for perfect for indoor use or short-term temporary outdoor use.   

So now you don't have to wait years to find one of these banners or spend thousands of dollars to own one.  Just choose a size and material and it will be shipped to your door!  Perfect for your man cave, garage, shop, or to display next to your tractor at a show, you know you want one!
